Justin believes that the Cape Breton Snow Crab is not only delicious and nutritious, but also an incredible traditional ingredient in Cape Breton’s own backyard! He used his love of local to create a unique recipe for Snow Crab Cakes that won him a spot in this event. He’ll bring his big skill and big dreams to Little River Harbour, where he will join the UK’s TV Chef Atul Kocchar (the first Indian Chef to receive a Michelin star rating!) and legendary local Chef Earlene Busch of Chanterelle Country Inn and Cottages. They’ll be serving up a menu full of culinary delights, set to the musical stylings of Angelo Spinnazzola & friends.

She channelled these memories to create a stunning grilled filet mignon dish with a blueberry demi-glace and perfectly prepared local sides. Katie will bring her attention to detail and love of local to the historical Orangedale Train Station and join famed Belgian Chef Vincent Masson and Sydney’s own Chef Troy Baglole of the NS Coast Guard College and Governor’s Pub & Restaurant. This exclusive event will serve five exquisite courses of finely prepared cuisine, while diners are serenaded by the sweets sounds of Norma MacDonald.
